Biological diversity is the result of a long evolutionary process for adaptation to various environments. This diversity has been acquired by "biological process and techniques" including "production process" "operation principles" and "operation systems", all of which differ from "human technology". "Sub-cellular structures" those are nano-micro structures often observed on the surface of insects and plants possess characteristic functions. The study of the "biological process and techniques" yielding these characteristic structures and functions will help to solve urgent issues involving the environment, resources, and energy, and will lead to a paradigm shift in human technology, known as biomimetic engineering. A "biomimetics database" and information science is an important "device" of "technology transfer" connecting biology and technology.
